Abstract
An improved toner for use in electrostatic copying processes is described. The toner, which exhibits high fixing ability at low temperatures, includes a binder resin, a colorant, and a silicone wax release agent. A method for reducing or preventing offset in a toner and increasing the lubricity of the toner is also described. The method comprises combining the silicone wax release agent and the colorant with the binder resin to form the toner.
